That's a type supported in hardware in the 80x87 coprocessors.  I don't 
think all of the basic integer operations are provided, but they shouldn't 
be hard to write if you use the FPU instructions.  Look up those with 
mnemonics FIxxx for integer support, and remember that internally, 
everything is done in floating point - so you might need some FRNDINT 
instructions if you don't save intermediate values to memory.

In Turbo Pascal this is called the Comp type, in the Intel 486 manual, it's 
called a long integer.  Your compiler could call it anything.
